The Sailor Suit: Late 1800s through the 1930s

The sailor girl look was popular as swimwear in the late 1880s and evolved into the next century to include sportswear such as tennis and sailing and even casual dresses.

Nautical fashion was popular for children, too. Both boys and girls wore sailor style outfits

1928 ensemble • Metropolitan Museum of Art

Two illustrated fashion catalog pages. The one on the right featuring the popular 1920s middy blouse in the nautical style. The blouse derived its name from the word "midshipman". The catalog page on the left shows models photographed wearing the middy style blouse tucked into a straight tennis skirt and a pleated skirt with the middy worn untucked, in what is perhaps a sailing ensemble.

Athletic ensemble • American • 1929 • Metropolitan Museum of Art

In early 20th-century America, sailor dresses were very popularly known as Peter Thomson dresses after the former naval tailor credited with creating the style for the U.S. Navy.

Rainy

Artist: Frank Weston Benson (American, 1862–1951)

Date: 1906

Medium: Oil on canvas

Collection: Art Institute of Chicago, Chicago, IL, United States

Description

In this interior scene of the artist’s summer residence in Maine, American Impressionist Frank Weston Benson depicted his daughter Elisabeth curled up in a rattan chair near a large fireplace. Benson is best known for his outdoor figural compositions, which often feature his wife or children in sun-filled, breezy landscapes. Rainy Day, in contrast, is a study of the subtler effects of interior light. The artist captured the soft, filtered light emanating from the left and embers glowing at far right. Benson was one of a number of late-19th-century artists who painted scenes of contemplative women in interiors, sometimes engaged in activities like sewing or reading, suggesting a cultural link between domesticity and femininity.
